Lights that create a stunning effect The first factor to consider when choosing a light fixture is what you want it to do. A directional lamp is suitable for specific tasks such as reading or cooking, while a light fixture with a dimmer is preferable for creating atmosphere. Outdoor lighting requires fixtures designed to withstand bad weather. Designs vary greatly, as they may be used for security purposes or to show off a landscaping feature.

Inside the home, ensure that the style of your light is suitable for the area where it will be installed. A modern lamp or recessed light will harmonize with a contemporary décor or a Zen atmosphere, whereas an antique or Victorian

style lamp is essential for a rustic or traditional style.

Bear in mind that if you place your table lamp or torchiere in a corner, its light will be reflected on two walls, amplifying luminosity. Light fixtures installed on pastel coloured walls and ceilings will be more efficient, as pale surfaces reflect about 80 percent of the light. Because dark surfaces only reflect about 10 percent, think about installing more lamps or fixtures in a room with dark walls in order to create sufficient light.

You can also choose your lights according to the effect you want to create.

The range of different mo dels available on the market is so vast that you’re bound to find the look you’ve set your heart on. There are also light fixtures that give different types of light, such as a flattering light for the bathroom, a shadowless light for the kitchen, a gentle glow in the dining room, as well as mood and indirect lighting for the li ving room and bedroom.

Table lamps provide indirect lighting.

We Also Do Property Management!

Four decisions to make when building a garden shed 1. LOCATION If you’ve decided to build a garden shed on your property, your first decision will be its location. First of all, find out about municipal regulations concerning the placement of sheds on private property. These usually specify the minimum distance from the residence, property boundaries, and public services, as well as the maximum surface area and height and authorized finishing materials. Then measure the available space at your chosen location, taking into account what you’ll use the shed for. If you’re going to store the snow blower there, for example, ensure that you can access your shed at all times.

rers offer a choice of models, including basic, traditional, luxury, and made-tomeasure. Whether you opt for a wood or metal shed, take into account the quality of the construction, its solidity, durability, storage facilities, upkeep requirements, as well as the quality and practicality of its design.

4. ASSEMBLY Ensure that the foundations are solid enough to support the size and weight of the construction. If you are handy, you could build the shed yourself by selecting a ready-to-assemble kit or you could have it assembled by a specialist.

2. USE Generally intended for the storing of tools, lawn mowers, bicycles, patio furniture, and pool and garden equipment, the shed could also be used as a workshop for a tinkerer or gardener.

How you decide to use your shed will influence the surface area, height, and comfort factor.

3. DESIGN Sheds are available in a wide range of styles and materials. Most manufactu-

How you plan to use your shed will influence its surface area, height, and comfort factor. www.campbellrivermirror.com

Need more space? Finish the basement! there is room enough for people to circulate. Decide if you prefer enclosed rooms or open areas. If activities that require quiet and concentration are planned, such as a home office, a library, or a bedroom, you will probably opt for enclosed rooms. On the other hand, an open area is perfect if you plan to spend time in a communal, multifunctional space, such as in a rec room, home cinema, or exercise area.

A lot of extra living space can be added to a home just by finishing the basement. As well as increasing the value of your house, a finished basement can also improve your quality of life if you design it according to your tastes and your requirements.

In your remodelled space you could set up an office or a wine cellar, add a bedroom or a corner for relaxing, create a play area for the children or an activity centre for teenagers, or build a family room or a home cinema. Whatever type of project you decide on, include an extra bathroom in the plan and a practical laundry room with a clothing chute from the upper floors to the basement. Don’t forget to work in plenty of storage space as well as sufficient electrical outlets, telephone jacks, and cable connections.

Accessories make the décor In the design world, mixing a variety of textures, metallic finishes, and bright colours will create an interesting visual effect. However, it is important that all these elements must be harmonized and the right tone maintained throughout the room.

In the living room and the bedroom, for example, choose simple furniture, a neutral upholstery fabric, and understated bedding which can be dressed up with more fashionable and extravagant accessories. A scattering of cushions is great for this task. Choose elegant yet comfortable cushions in a variety of complementary fabrics, tones, and patterns. They can be woven, embroidered, quilted, fluffy, pearly, sequined, or leather look.

Artwork has its place everywhere in the home. You could opt for a single large piece or several pictures positioned in a symmetrical or asymmetrical arrangement, depending on the look you want to create. Sculptures take pride of place on a pedestal, shelf, or low table. Art not only adds colour and style, it can become the focal point or lend inspiration to the rest of the décor. In a contemporary home modern art is appropriate, while in a more traditional style of home, a copy of something by an old master with an antique frame would be suitable.

Dress up the bathroom with a chrome shelving unit and an acrylic or metal bench with a fabric seat. Other fun touches include a clock fixed to the wall of the shower and an essential oil diffuser that is both decorative and relaxing as it spreads natural fragrance throughout the room. In the bedroom, install small pieces of furniture that are both practical and esthetic, such as a hand-painted dressing table or a jewellery box whose shape and material organically fit with the rest of the décor.

Go for an oversized modern painting enhanced by generous lighting.

“Find your house by word of mouse!”

The ultimate in home cinemas Creating a useful and fun home cinema requires a great deal of careful planning.

Here are a few tips to help you get started: POSITIONING AND EQUIPMENT • Calculate the distance available between the screen and the seating area. Plan for a distance that is between 2.5 to 3 times the size of the screen, measured on the diagonal. For example, a 40-inch screen would require a distance from the chairs of around 2.5 to 3 metres.

• To ensure comfortable seating, plan about 90 cm for the width of each chair and calculate for about 80 cm of space behind the seats and along all the walls to facilitate movement.

• Install your front speakers at the height of the spectators’ ears, around 91 cm from the floor, and 30 cm from each side of the screen. In the back corners of the room, position your rear speakers a bit higher, around 1.22 metres from the ground.

Put the bass speaker on the floor under the screen.

All electronic equipment can be kept in a specially designed cabinet.

ACOUSTICS AND SOUNDPROOFING • Think care-

• • • • • •

fully about acoustics. The ideal is to have a good balance between absorbing materials and reflecting materials. You can insulate the walls, floor, and ceiling with specially designed insulating wool and then install acoustic panels on the walls and ceiling.

Plan on insulating the walls to a thickness of around 10 mm. Keep in mind that rectangular rooms give better sound quality.

Take advantage of any insulating work to hide away electrical sheaths and the cable network required for your installation.

Choose a full door made of steel or wood.

Install a floating floor covered by wall-towall carpeting.

Dress the windows with drapes made of a thick fabric.

Opt for discreet lighting, such as wall lamps or recessed ceiling lights equipped with dimmers.

Some good reasons to hire a flooring specialist Installing a new floor is a substantial renovation project, and the skills required to do the job will depend on the flooring material chosen and the type of subfloor. While linoleum squares, vinyl, and stratified and laminated woods are relatively easy to install, ceramic or porcelain tiles and carpets are a little trickier to manage. Even if stone, linoleum, vinyl sheets, hardwood, and pre-varnished wood are easy to lay, finishing work requires significant time and effort.

Some projects are best done by a professional because of the complexity of the work. The quality of the installation has a direct influence on the durability and the comfort of the flooring. Poor installation can even reduce the life of the product. Laying tile or fitting wall-to-wall carpet requires a certain set of skills. Firstly, the subfloor needs to be carefully prepared and any cracks in wood or concrete surfaces have to be repaired. Every type of carpet has its own particularities, meaning that a carpet with underlay, a glued carpet, or carpet tiles require different installation methods and finishing. Professional tile installers or carpet layers also remove old carpet or flooring and dispose of it in an appropriate manner.

Unless the home renovator is very confident in his or her skills, it is also worthwhile to hire a flooring specialist to put in other kinds of flooring as well. The installation of a hardwood floor involves many different steps, including the laying of the wood, sanding, staining, and varnishing. Unfinished wood planks or strips must be sanded and finished in place. Pre-varnished models are factory sanded and varnished, which greatly facilitates the installation.

12

THE CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 2013

Professionals can also repair or completely refinish wooden floors.

Stratified, laminated, or floating floors are easy to install, as the planks have a system of grooves and tongues that do not require any gluing or nailing. However, with the help of a professional your floor will never creak, it will last longer, and it will look beautiful. A specialist will prepare the surface properly and install the subfloor as well as the hardwood flooring. The cutting and assembling will be done with meticulous care in order to obtain a high quality finish.

When looking for a flooring specialist, choose a competent professional who is recommended by construction contractors or by acquaintances who have used his or her services in the past. A floor layer will be able to discuss the various flooring products suitable for a renovations job and will be familiar with all the installation techniques the various materials require.

Floorers are able to handle every stage of a job, from taking measurements, helping to choose the materials, to the final installation. They usually offer free estimates and guarantee their work.

The proper installation of wall-to-wall carpeting requires professional expertise.

Before you throw yourself into the decoration of the interior of your home, take the time to plan the work. It’s better to plan everything beforehand rather than making mistakes which will be difficult or costly to repair. Start by deciding on the extent of the work. Examine the state of each room and check if your needs have changed. For example, if your children have grown up, it’s perhaps time to rethink their bedrooms. The appliances and the bathroom or kitchen cabinets perhaps need renewing. Or is it the appearance of your bedroom, the living room or the dining room which needs to be changed?

If several rooms need to be modified, decide on a common thread (style, colour, material, etc.) to ensure a certain harmony between the rooms. Use quad paper to draw a scaled plan of each room to be decorated, indicating passage ways, windows, doors, fireplace, radiators, etc., and including furniture positioned in the appropriate places. Choose floor coverings which are appropriate for the use of the room and that fit in the surroundings. Paint is an easy and fast way of changing or refreshing a room. Avoid colours which are too dark and difficult to paint over. Choose a shade from your bedding or wallpaper or that harmonizes with your furniture.

Applying the principles of Feng Shui will generate the optimum circulation of positive energy in the house. This approach also guides you in the use of colours and advises against some combinations, such as yellow and green, which can induce a feeling of discomfort unless the green is less dominant than the yellow. According to this approach, the position of the colours is also very important. It’s recommended to put colder shades below and warmer shades above. For example, greens below and blues above.

Your budget will also depend on whether you plan to hire a professional to do the work or if you do it yourself — sometimes both options are possible. Hiring manpower will increase the cost, but using a pro can prevent months of lost time and space at home. If you decide to hire someone, ask for recommendations from family, friends, and work colleagues. That is the best way to find a trustworthy person who can do quality work at a reasonable price. You can also obtain invaluable advice from specialists in hardware or renovation stores.

The quality and quantity of materials chosen will also have a huge impact on the cost of the project. If money is no object, you could renovate everything in one go. If your budget is more modest, you could go more slowly, at your own pace, one room at a time. Be sure to get all the information you need to make an enlightened decision.

Write everything down and compare the different options that have been suggested.

How do I calculate how much my renovation project will cost? Now there’s a question that requires a great deal of thought!

Obviously there are many different answers to this question, depending on what type of project you have in mind and the quality of materials you can budget for. Do you want to demolish everything and start from scratch? Replace the plumbing and the electricity? Or simply change the furniture and the appliances to freshen up some rooms and give them a more up-to-date look?

Hammering out a budget

Counter proposals A large variety of kitchen countertops is available for both traditional and modern kitchens. Here are a few suggestions to guide you in choosing.

• Wood worktops blend well in a traditional kitchen. Wood is available in a wide range of species and colours and offers warmth and affordability. Disadvantages include poor resistance to stains, burns, and scratches. Wood countertops also require regular care and maintenance.

• Natural stone gives a luxurious rustic look and comes in a wide variety of types and colours. It is renowned for its low maintenance requirements and granite in particular is resistant to heat, stains, and scratches. Some stone surfaces are expensive and require professional installation.

• Tiling combines resistance, ease of maintenance, and low cost. The classic look of tiles has been updated, thanks to larger sizes and new colours and patterns that imitate wood and stone.

Keep in mind that grouting requires meticulous cleaning in order to avoid dirt and mold becoming embedded.

• Metal, stainless steel, and glass surfaces come in diverse finishes to create a contemporary look. Stainless steel is hygienic and extremely resistant to heat and shocks but does require a lot of maintenance. Glass is easy to keep clean and offers the possibility of infused colours and embedded textures. Not surprisingly, it is less resistant to shocks and scratches.

• Concrete countertops are extremely resistant to heat and shocks and are available in a variety of designs and finishes. Their fabrication and installation must be entrusted to sometimespricey specialists. It is also important that the concrete be treated against stains. Composite materials, such as quartz, continue to be expensive but are esthetic, easy to maintain, and highly resistant to heat, shocks, and stains.

For a harmonious décor, choose countertops in a material and colour that blends well with other elements in the kitchen. www.campbellrivermirror.com

A window treatment for every room In the living room Your choice of window treatment should always be suited to the type of room it is intended for. In the living room, privacy is usually the most important criterion.

Horizontal blinds, Venetian blinds, or shutters provide effective protection from prying eyes, especially at night, and during the day their slats can be adjusted depending on how much light is desired. If the living room windows don’t overlook a high traffic area, long drapes will embellish them while protecting the interior from the sun.

In the bedroom Essential criteria for the bedroom are privacy and the control of natural light. An opaque shade is certainly a good choice, as it meets both these requirements.

Shades with original patterns are also opaque and are very popular for children’s bedrooms. Horizontal blinds are an interesting choice, as light levels can be adjusted

and they can also be combined with curtains for even more opacity. Curtains are not ideal for controlling light and privacy, but combined with a shade or a blind, their esthetic appeal can still be taken advantage of. It’s also possible to use lined curtains or drapes that are opaque enough to reduce the intensity of natural light.

In the kitchen and bathroom A rigid, low-maintenance horizontal blind is practical for the kitchen. Wood and faux wood are very popular. Horizontal blinds are also a wise choice for the bathroom, although it is important that they be made of water resistant materials that will not lose their shape, especially if the room has poor ventilation or if the blind is near the shower. Faux wood is a good choice.
